Executive Physical Q & A

What is an executive physical?

An executive physical includes all of the evaluations and testing of a traditional physical exam, but the exam itself is structured to suit the busy schedules most executives deal with day in and day out. That means that instead of having to spend valuable time scheduling tests and lab work over a protracted period, an executive physical enables you to get all your supporting lab work and testing done right away. By consolidating all of the elements of a thorough physical exam into a convenient “time slot,” busy executives can ensure they maintain optimal health without the inconvenience of multiple appointments. Plus, executive physicals also focus on many of the most common issues facing executives, including the health risks associated with increased levels of stress and the problems of delayed care.

How often should I have a physical?

Executive physicals should be completed every year, just like a “regular” physical, so Dr. Aziz is able to screen for health risks and look for changes in your health that could indicate the initial stages or warning signs of serious illness or disease. Plus, since our health needs change as we get older, seeing the doctor once each year for a complete physical is the best way to make sure your health needs continue to be met over time.

What types of evaluations or services are included in an executive physical?

Your physical will begin with a complete personal and family medical history and a review of any concerns or symptoms you may be experiencing. A complete physical exam will provide Dr. Aziz with the additional information he needs to determine which tests and lab work are most appropriate for you. Once your test results are back, Dr. Aziz will sit down with you to review those results and discuss any lifestyle changes, healthcare recommendations or other guidance to help optimize your physical and emotional well-being.
